It’d be a great help if all of you could download this file (do not extract it), and then in Skylark file manager, open “opaks” folder and then select “upload” from file menu. Then select this file, upload.

Once the upload completes, if you now hit “refresh” from the “View” and confirm that the file vanished.

Then hopefully its the regular ota process - about 7 minutes worth of wait and then a (automatic) reboot.

I did the manual update from the file mentioned above and now I am locked out.
The WiFi switched back to AP mode but without DHCP server, both my laptops cannot connect to it.
(my Chromebook cannot connect to networks without DHCP server, an old Windows XP laptop with
a RaLink WiFi stick does not appear to even attempt to connect, no error message. setting a fixed
IP does not resolve it)

How do I recover from this? I do have a TTL->RS232 cable, can I fix it from the shell?
Or can you send another OTA that will fix the WiFi problem?

OTA seemed to work - downloaded and rebooted in the time-frame you specified. However, wifi didn’t connect. Outernet hotspot was detected and I tried several times to connect but always timed-out. Rebooted a couple of times as well but didn’t resolve anything.

I then reflashed Skylark 1.0 and based on your instructions, downloaded and installed the upgrade file and was then able to connect to the hotspot and reconfigure back to my wifi.

I have a second unit with Skylark 1 which could be used to retest the OTA but maybe after the wifi issue is resolved.

I am experiencing the exact same issues as pe1chl. In fact I am guessing it may have retained the Wifi configuration because I did see it connecting to my AP, but then it would never pull an IP address. Now it has switched over to AP mode and I can connect but cannot get an IP. It seems like dhcp both client and server may have been killed. I will try to manually IP my laptop and see if I can get in.

I reflashed then downloaded the v 1.2 file and immediately updated. Once I logged into Skylark 1.2, I then reconfigured the network. I noticed that my access point and password were still present but it had defaulted to hotspot.

I am not familiar with usb-net. How would that work? I connected the CHIP to my Linux machine
but there appear no USB messages in the logfile and I see no new devices in lsusb. I also see
no new network devices. Of course there is no route to 10.10.10.10. This apparently requires more
preparation… the VM used to flash Skylark 1.0 worked fine, it detected the CHIP. Maybe that can
be used as a host to access the usb-net?
